Create Recipe

Now let's create recipe starting with IF part of your choosing. There are numerous choices including the geofencing, messeging system etc. I used trigger by email with the subject - not a good idea from the security standpoint, but this is something that I can easily test.

For the "THAT part", I selected the Make channel and entered the information you gave me (of course, entering my own device and access token and the action to take [open or close])Then, save it.

I'm about to make another one to open the door when I get within a block of my home. After you do the first one, it's a piece of cake! I have no intention of publishing it unless there is a way to leave out the device and access token.

Icing on the cake. I just made a IFTTT recipe to automatically close the door at 9PM in case I forget to do it before going to bed. If it's already down, nothing happens. Pretty cool! Only limited by one's imagination.

I was able to get mine working. Now when I drive up to the garage, it automatically opens! I followed the above instructions and made sure I removed the _ from the code and now it works. Just make sure both aps are open in the background

The underscores in URL were part of failed formatting attempt. The board uses them to add italicization to the text, but evidently it only works when applied to separate words. Anyway, I'm glad to contribute to the fitness of Garadget users any way I can. Fixed the post.
